Africa–Asia relations are a controversial subject at the moment and many authors have attempted to shed light on what the renewed relations between Africa and Asia entail. Some have denounced what they see as a ‘New Scramble for Africa’, while others have identified the possibilities offered by these new South–South relations and have drawn attention to the impact of African agency in this new constellation. This article follows on from these discussions by reading the growing global dynamic as a collage of African and Asian entanglements. It is based on research conducted within the University of Frankfurt’s Inter-Centre programme on Africa’s Asian Options (AFRASO). In line with the programme’s empirical, comparative and trans-regional objectives, the three authors conduct research on the interactions between Africa and Asia.1

埃塞俄比亚的亚洲选择：非洲和亚洲纠缠的拼贴画

目前，非洲与亚洲的关系是一个有争议的话题，许多作者试图阐明非洲与亚洲之间新关系的含义。有些人谴责他们认为的“非洲新争夺”，而另一些人则确定了这些新的南南关系所提供的可能性，并提请注意非洲机构在这个新星座中的影响。本文是通过这些讨论而得出的，通过阅读日益增长的全球动态来反映非洲和亚洲的纠缠。它是基于法兰克福大学关于非洲亚洲期权的跨中心计划（AFRASO）内进行的研究。根据该计划的经验，比较和跨地区目标，三位作者对非洲与亚洲之间的互动进行了研究。1
